| Description of the problem | I went to operate the vehicle today and brake pedal went all the way to the floor. A warning came on that brake fluid was low. I opened the hood and there was no fluid in the reservoir. I filled it up and started driving. Within two minutes the warning came on again. I again opened the hood and the reservoir was empty. There is no sign of a leak under the truck. Once again i filled it up and within a minute or two the low fluid message came on again and the pedal would go to the floor. I continued to drive it to the local ford dealer very slowly, using the e-brake and gearing to stop as needed. Dealer could find no sign of a leak and thinks it may be the fluid bypassing the master brake cylinder and collecting in the brake booster. This is a very dangerous condition and i see i am not the only 2014 f-150 with defective brakes. This is a 5000 pound plus vehicle, one would expect it to have a very reliable braking system. Hopefully there will be a recall as a result of this investigation http://www. Nbcdfw. Com/news/local/us-investigates-420000-ford-f-150s-for-brake-failure-371060011. Html |
